Soften cream cheese in microwave for 20-30 seconds. Stir in green salsa, lime juice and spices until well mixed then add cilantro and green onions. Stir in shredded chicken and pepperjack cheese and combine well. **this can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.

Working with 3-4 tortillas at a time, briefly heat in microwave so they are more malleable and easier to work with. (Any time you want to heat up flour tortillas, it’s a good idea to place a damp paper towel draped over a small stack of them in the microwave. If I have more than 5, I will place a damp paper towel in the middle of the stack as well.) Spoon 2-3 Tb of mixture in a row across the bottom third of tortilla, keeping 1/2 inch away from edge. This makes it possible to roll it up very tightly. Place taquitos seam side down on cookie sheet, making sure they are not touching. Lightly spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and edges start to turn golden brown.

Serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

The second recipe was found here. It's what I'm making for Cinco De Mayo...Taco Salad .

2 large cans of Ranch Style Beans1 can Rotel, I use mild1/1/2 pounds ground beef, browned. For this recipe, I just cover the meat with water, add garlic powder, salt and one medium onion chopped. Then let it simmer away for about an hour. You could just brown the meat, but it is really tasty this way. I just add in the whole pot of beef/water after it's cooked.One packet of Ranch DressingTwo cloves of garlic, minced

Combine all of these ingredients in the crockpot and cook on low for about four hours. Have it over lettuce with cheese, sour cream, green onion, corn chips, avocado.
